TIGHTENING THE BURDEN.

'Let me carry your pail, my dear,
Brimming over with water p
''No I'll take hold and you take hold"
Answered the farmers daughter.
And she would have her own sweet way,
AS her merry eyes grew brighter;
So she took hold, aud he took hold,
And it made the burden lighter.
And every day the oaken pail
Over the well-curb slipping,
Was upward drawn by hands Of Drawn,
Cool, and so softly dripping.
And every day the burden seemed
Lighter by being divided;
For he took hold, and she took hold,
By the self-same spirit guided.
Till by and by they learned to love
And each trust in the other,
Till she for him, one twilight dim,
Left father and left mother.
The wedding bells were rung at morn,
The bridal blessing given,
And now the pair, without care,
Entered an earthly heaven.
When storm and sunshine mingled, they
Would seldom trouble borrow,
And when it came, they met the same
With bright hope of tomorrow
And now they're at the eve of life,
While the western skies grow brighter,
For she took hold, and he took hold,
And it made the burden lighter.

Citizens of the United States travel
ing in foreign countries are often incon-
venienced unless authentic proof of their
nationality can be given. The safeguard
is passport issued by the State Depart
ment at Washington, which may be had
on the payment Of S. [act of June 20,
1874, accompanied by the applicants
affidavit that he is citizen. The affidavit
of another citizen must certify to the
same, and these must be attested by a
notary public or by certificate of a court
of record. Naturalized citizens must
transmit their naturalization certificates
with their afiidavits. Passports can
not be issued to aliens who have only de-
clared their intention of becoming citi-
zens. The oath of allegiance to the
United States will be required in all
cases. Communications should be ad-
dressed; Department of State, Passport

Senator Stanford says that wheat is
grown for English use in Egypt, in India
and in California, three sets of laborers
competing for the market; the wages of
the Egyptian harvester is one red radish
day, of the Hindoo five cents, and of
the Californian workman two dollars.
Yet the Californian hold his own in the
competition, because he uses machinery
in aid of his labor, and can cut, thresh
and bag a hundred pounds of wheat at
cost of cent and half.

Whistling girls and hens that crow,
Will make their way wherever they go
General WashingtOn's POliteness.

"Should a white company salute col
ored company when passing it on the
marchW has been one Of the questions
propounded by military tacticians re-
Gently. This reminds us of un old story.
General Washington was walking down
Pennsylvania avenue in the city of Wash
ington one day when he was met by a
negro, who bowed to him. The General
bowed politely in return. "What, Mr..
President" said an acquaintance, "do
you bow TO a negrol" "Sir," replied
Washington, "do you think / would
allow a negro to outdo me in politeness2'
And the negroes were then slaves, and
Washington owned good many of them.

Asubmarine tunnel is being built under
the river at Port Huron to shorten the
distance between Detroit and Buffalo or
Toronto. The work is now ready for
the horizontal excavation, which will be
one mile in length, including 1910 feet
in the submarine section. The latter in
its. lowest part will be 81 feet below the
surface of the river, and will have a
diameter of 20 feet in the clear 1t was
at first proposed to construct two-track
tunnel, but careful estimates of the cost
were given, showing that the two single
track tunnels could be built cheaper than
one double-track tunnel.

A Professional Woman Whistler.

The appearance of Mrs. Shaw, the wo-
man whistler, at Mrs. Harriet Webbs
benefit in Chickering Hall was the occa
sion of the introduction of piece writ
ten for her by Miss Laura Collins, a
young woman nearing her twentieth year.
1t was called ''The Message of the Night
ingale," and was as pretty as its title. 1t
was especially calculated to exhibit the
capabilities of Mrs. Shaw and the
beauties of her accomplishment. Mrs.
| Shaw visited friends in Washington re-
Gently and accompanied them to pri-
vate afternoon reception of Mrs. Cleve-
lands. 1t was during the short stay of
the Presidents sister, Miss Rose Eliza
beth, at the White House The latter
knew of Mrs. Shaw's musical talent and
when she mentioned it Mrs. Cleveland
eagerly requested her to whistle. An
hour later the Presidents wife let her
stop, not because she had heard all she
wanted to, but to be polite and consider
ate in not asking too much. Mrs. Shaw
will soon visit Washington again, and
has several engagements there during the
Grand Encampment of the g. A. r. She
has engagements as far ahead as in July.
The frantic gesticulations of women
who want to stop street car and their
funny little squeals when they do decide
to make noise for the same purpose, are
so familiar to drivers and conductors that
Mrs. Shaw sometimes astonishes them
into a helpless condition of wide-eyed,
open-mouthed wonder. Whistling comes
so natural to her that she sometimes forgets
herself when a car that she wants to take
goes rolling by the corner with the driver
looking persistently in another direction.
Her loud, clear signal brings him around,
and after braking up the car as speedily
as possible, he looks for the man. The
astOnishment comes in when he finds that
his passenger is not a man, but an
elegantly dressed lady, whose face is by
this time all Strengthened out, and whose
severe dignity of expression and bearing
are utterly inconsistent with anything
like a whistle. Mrs. Shaw has INDUCED
in a little freedom with the ancient
proverb that slow conservatism might
apply to her case, and renders the couplet
thus:
Whistling girls and hens that crow,
Will make their way wherever they 60.
Mrs. Shaw's claim to position as a
musical novelty does not signify that she
is the only woman whistler. There are
two others, but they are widely different
from her in plans and purposes as well
as method. One is Miss Chamberlain, of
Boston, and the other is Miss Adelaide
Detchon, who is now in London, giving
society recitations, and varying the pro
programme with whistling. She will be
remembered in New York, where she
appeared in comedy on Wallack's and
other stages. .-Neio York Sun.

How to Stand.

On one of his visits to New Haven 10
deliver the Yale Lectures, Mr. Beechcr
went into barber shop near the chapel
TO be shaved. The barber, seeing that
he was minister, but not recognizing
him as the great Brooklyn preacher, said,
"Goin TO the lecture"
"Who speaks!' asked Beecher, in
Yankee fashion.
"Why Henry Ward Beccher."
"lcs, ! think l will 60
"Haye you got a ticket!' the barber
went on, ''if not, you'll have TO stand.
"There therem said Mr. Beecher, "it
seems as if always did have TO stand
when hear that man speak I"

Archdeacon Farrar writes from East
Africa that the whole district of Magila,
with its hundreds of villages and thou
sands of people, has recently been saved
an invasion of small pox, which has pre-
vailed in surrounding districts, by gen.

commended medical science to the peo-
pie, and they come in numbers to be
Vaccinated.

The tide of travel across the Atlantic
Is not, it seems, to set all one way this
year, for besides the hordes of hungry
foreigners fastening to the New World
to pick up dollars, so many Americans
are going abroad to scatter them that
some of the steamship companies have
been forced to suspend the issue of east
ward tickets.

The II. B. Grubbs' Candy and Cracker
Company.

Uuder the personal guidance of its
genial manager, Maj. H. B. Grubbs,
we had the pleasure of going through
this mammoth manufsctory and see
ing and having explained to us the
the many details of its various de-
partments. 1t is one Of the most
prominent business enterprises in the
city of Nashville, and is the largest
and most complete establishment of its
kind in the south. Although estab.
lished 10 1885, it does tremendously
large business, extending over fourteen
states. 1t also has an extensive and
constantly increasing trade with the
Island of Cuba. Some idea of its
mammoth proportions may be gained
from the fact that it employs one
hundred and sixty men and women
in its varions departments, beside
having ten representatives on the
road More than thirty barrels of
sugar and one hundred and fifty bar
reIs of flour are daily converted into
seven hundred and twenty different
kinds of candies, and two hundred
and forty different kinds of cakes and
crackers. In fact, everything known
to the confectioner's art can be OBJ
tanned from this house. The absolute
purity of all goods sold by this firm
is bevoud question, as Major Grubbs
personally inspects all materials used
in their manufacture, buying nothing
but the very hest. At the beginning
of this year the business had so lie
creased that the capital stock had to
he doubled in order TO meet the grows
ing demands. The Unprecedented
success which has crowned this enter
prise is due in great measure to the
splendid executive ability and tireless
energy of Major Grubbs. To him
we desire to express our thanks for
special fAvois. His large heartedness
is exceeded only by the large enter.
prise he so ably directs.
